Using nodes' spare storage space to store important community data

[0xpatcha]

Could this be combined with Damir’s Idea to add service providers?

@damir

The idea of this proposal is to create a new type of actors (that can be the node runners themselves but not necessarily!) that provide multiple kinds of off-chain services with on-chain management. Those services can be - but are not limited to:

• data storage (Dropbox-style)
• internet connection (eg. VPN / proxy)
• compute (eg. ZKSNARK/ZKSTARK prover-as-a-service, LLM inference as a service, cloud services…)

How can the moderators check if the files are not illegal? Illegal depending on the law of which country, where the node is, where Massa foundation is,…? I would say the node as they are responsible for storing & sharing this data.
